Celebrity Baby Names - The Choices of the Rich and Famous

Have you ever looked at celebrity baby names and immediately asked the question, "What were they thinking?" You're not alone. And while living with a strange or unusual name is a fact of life for many children, it seems especially so for the children of some celebrities.

At the top of this list and almost certain to make any list of strange celebrity baby names is Moon Unit Zappa, daughter of rocker Frank Zappa. With a last name like Zappa, the little girl already had something to deal with. Add "Moon Unit" as her first names and she was bound to be teased! You may think that Moon Unit Zappa is a pretty cool - if strange - name to tag a child with. But take a look at the other Zappa children. There is Ahmet, Dreezil and Diva!

The key to celebrity baby names seems to be different. Maybe it's the fact that celebrities are so accustomed to being in the spotlight that they use naming the baby to continue that. Here are a few strange celebrity baby names:

Diane Keeton chose Dexter for her child's name. Think this shouldn't be in the category of unusual celebrity baby names? Diane's child is a daughter.

Zowie Bowie is the daughter of singer David Bowie. Zowie wouldn't be an unusual name in and of itself, but when you put the two names together she's bound to make the usual celebrity baby names list.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore have three children, and the creative imaginations of these two well-known actors are bound to have played a role in selecting the names for their children. Scott LaRue is the only one of the three with a name that might be called common. Scott's siblings are Rumer Glenn and Tallullah Belle - definite qualifiers for unusual celebrity baby names.

Here are a few more unusual celebrity baby names. Vanna White has a daughter named Giovanna, Sean Penn has a son named Hopper, and Daisy Oliver has a daughter named Daisy Boo.
